Candidate Fulton is quoted as saying "I don't see them putting in the effort". Apparently this comment refers to current city council members or candidates. Yet, I saw only current city council members and but one other candidate at last week's council meeting. I sincerely apologize if I failed to notice other candidates in Thalian Hall Tuesday night. But for me, it speaks volumes that any candidate aspiring to be elected to govern this city would not attend council meetings. I must question if candidates who were not present, including Mr. Fulton, believe it requires too much effort to attend the very meetings from which they aspire to govern?
